Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Potent anti-inflammatory agent. At low concentrations, mediates the degranulation of mast cells thus evoking an inflammatory response. Also acts as a neurotoxin capable of blocking a class of voltage-gated potassium channels.
Target
voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv)
